Words for Glamourbombs

Note May 2021: If you've been on this page before, you may notice that it's a LOT shorter now than it has been in the past. I decided not to duplicate content between this page, which has some specialized short taglines, and the quotes page, which can serve either use case. I've included a few extra quotes here that could be useful on glamourbombs but didn't quite fit the "magic/mythic" theme of the quotes page.

This is a list of suggested texts to put on glamourbombs that involve the use of text. Substitute in your own kindred where you see Faery, Elven, etc. See Feywine for the Mythic Soul for some more possibilities. You can also use any fae- or mythic-themed poetry, such as from the works of W. B. Yeats, A.E. (George Russell), or Fiona Macleod (William Sharp). You may want to follow your main text with the address of an otherkin or faerie-related web page.
